Brad brownell will continuously find a way to save his job. Never achieve anything but every season finds away. This year he has beat duke, unc on the road, and now giving Louisville a run for their money. Will lose to Boston college and Georgia tech next tho.

for some reason, he sucks during OOC play, but his teams pick up the slack during conference season

it's pretty strange

Hope Boston College wins tomorrow to give us a little more separation between us and the five seed.

UNC now enjoys sole possession of last place in the ACC. I've wanted to say that for years!

Now I have tears in both eyes as the Heels lost by 2 a home to the Cavs!

Please don't say that since my Wolfpack is breathing on a respirator.
To me, it's amazing to see all of the teams from 5-12 separated by just one game.

I agree! This has definitely been a down year for the ACC but with that said Duke is playing as good as anyone in the nation at the moment and this is normally the case from mid February on under the leadership of Coach K. The bad news for my Wolfies is that we still have to play Duke TWICE!

We still have games against Louisville and Duke but thankfully they’re both at home. I think UVA picked a good year to have a down year in the ACC because normally, I believe that this current team would be in the bottom half of the conference with very little chance of making it to the tournament.

FSU squeaking by Syracuse... One thing about Hamilton is that for some reason, in 20 or so years of playing Boeheim it seems like he ALWAYS has problems breaking that damn zone! I’ll take the win, but geeeeezzzzz!!!

You make a great point but I think your Cavs will get invited to the big dance.

A win is a win and your Noles should get a great seed in the big dance.

As long as we win the games we’re supposed to, I think we will. But we can’t afford any slip ups and probably have to win at least one game in the ACC Tournament to definitely be in.

Absolutely, but man... Just watching and yelling, “It’s there! One more pass!” and it not happening is frustrating! (Again, this is a 20 year phenomenon. I hate when we play Syracuse! ;) )

When we play Syracuse, I always think back to that Elite 8 game we had against them three or four years ago with that huge lead we had and blew it because we had a massive brain fart against the press, even thought we never had a problem with it when we faced Louisville. That’s why I never count them out when they play us.

My team laid an egg at BC tonight so you got your wish because we lost. I'm not even sure that we are NIT worthy but I guess that will be on the menu for us.

I've never understood why Jim has always played that 2/3 zone on defense at Syracuse but maybe he will explain it to us when he retires.

We by no means have a lock on a top four spot with how inept our offense has been for most of the year. With how close everyone is from 5-12, a lot can happen the next few weeks. I feel like if you win out and win one or two games in the ACC Tournament you guys have a shot at making it in.
